ken anderson. Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 few week's time going to malta-little island in the middle of the med with a big heart-this is the 7th time we've been-really nice place and people+they have an aircraft museum(yabba dabba doo) and in the war museum in valletta they have the fuselage of one of the gloster gladiator's that helped to defend the island in ww2(3 gladiator's that got the nicknames of faith,hope and charity)........... ken anderson..........

Hamish Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Been to Malta once, loved it and would go back again. Our time there coincided with the Remembrance Day service in Valletta. The day prior to the service we were out walking and came across a cemetery full of young men and women from 18 upwards who had come out to defend the island. You can imagine how these young people felt to come to such a lovely island with all the heat and sun and then never to leave. Wild horses could not have kept us away from that service, which we found very moving. It is a pity some of the youth of today can not appreciate what others in there age group valued and died for. Been to the museum and found it very interesting, as is the whole of the island. Have a good time Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken anderson. Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 hello hamish--i attended one of my old uncles funeral 3 year's ago-and during the sermon we were told that he had left school during WW2 and lied about his age to join the merchant navy-he got in and joined the convoys to russia where his ship's were torpedoed three times-all this at the age of 16/17 year's of age-he survived it all to live in to his 70's---he was a nice lad......... ken anderson...................

Doug Ireland Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Been there twice. First time was thirty years ago with the RAF and the second was last summer during a field-break from work in Libya. Lots of changes! The old "flesh pots" have long gone but the skyline of Valletta is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken anderson. Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 alas--tis now a memory-warm sun-walking around like a weekend millionaire-one of the lasting memories is going to the hal far model association flying site and meeting some of the people/member's who fly there-especially mr victor saliba(the lad who did a review)of the panic biplane on this very forum. i contacted victor via the forum and met up with him in malta-after a visit to hal far site we spent some time meeting victor's family-and also had a very enjoyable evening out together.....now just a nice memory-anyone visiting malta-sneak a visit to hal far site-you won't be disappointed when you meet our maltese counterpart's................ ken anderson..............

But don't forget before you go to order some decent weather for the north-east for the latter part of next week for me! I'll be up probably on Wednesday (20th) evening until the following Monday morning. So any remaining members of the HTP who aren't going to Malta - look out!

Victor Saliba Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 No 1 Ken and his lovely wife Sue landed at Malta International Airport yesterday evening and were given a great warm welcome by me and my wife. We met up 30 mins later at their hotel in Sliema and had a couple of black coffee and tea and a chat. We discussed a bit of everything. I wish Ken and Sue a memorable holiday. British people are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
